Toti was 23 before he broke in to the team and even then he was largely assumed to be needing to be replaced for a good year or more (and as recently as this season). Age isn’t everything, players develop at different stages. He may well not turn out to be good enough to improve our defence but...

But they’ve got to haven’t they, look at the money Ipswich and Southampton spent last year and they were still ****. If you look at Transfermarkt squad values (I know it’s not the most accurate but gives a rough idea) the lowest value squad last year outside the bottom 3 was Everton at €350m...

The accounting standard states you amortise the cost over the useful life of the asset (typically the contract length) so reasonably you’d base this on the specific length and specific number of days that fall in to that period. Obviously you can set your depreciation/ amortisation method in...

Agent fees and any other associated costs would be capitalised and amortised over the contract length too most likely, so have very little affect too. As you say, a much bigger deal is made of it than needs to be. It’s massive for sales with the profit booked on the date of the deal but for...

I usually look out for Cheltenham’s results as they’re my grandads local team so whenever he’d talk to me about wolves growing up I’d ask him about them too. Just to annoy @let’s all have a disco a bit more I don’t mind Sunderland either. Bit like us in that they’ve got a good history but...

You’re right, 375 points behind and there’s only 114 available each season. Got another 3 years and 11 games to wait then!

I’ve covered this a couple of pages ago but getting purchases in after 1st July really isn’t as big a deal as it’s made out to be. It’s much more important to get sales through as that has a much more tangible affect, but purchases it makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things.

Oh I agree completely, but I think when people talk about the finances they believe 30th June / 1st July are the only dates that matter, they don’t, it’s not a line in the sand and amortisation for a year either fully lands in one period or the other. If anything the point I’m making is we don’t...

People put far too much weight on 1st July when it comes to purchases. It’s massively important for sales as it dictates which accounting period the sale falls in to but for a purchase the fee is amortised over the length of the contract so would have minimal affect at this point anyway. Say...

Even 8 is only if every single one of those mentioned move on, as I said i don't think that’s a given. To be fair Bueno has done more than just half a season in the Netherlands, he’s already been around our squads for a couple of years now and has over 2,000 minutes in the PL already. Of course...

Even if all of those do leave we don’t necessarily need to replace one in one out do we? Dawson and Forbes have barely featured since Pereira came in, Doyle and Traore have had very limited minutes between them and Hwang has barely been on the pitch whilst Guedes may as well not have been...

But to be fair we’ve only got a big chunk to give away because we didn’t pay it in the first place. The original deal with Angers was £18m which iirc most were pretty happy with, we essentially paid half up front and deferred half until now, if we’d just paid the £18m up front and were now...

From what I’ve read we aren’t entitled to the full £105m loss, it’s restricted to £95.7m which implies they have put £80.7m in over the past three years. My issues with Fosun have never been about a lack of funding but a lack of clarity and consistency in their approach. The biggest issue is...

Apparently our allowance is £10m below the full £105m which implies they’ve covered £80m in losses over the last 3 seasons. Also, seen a couple suggest (not you but just piggybacking this off my reply to you) that Fosun have taken money out of Wolves, where has that come from, nothing in the...
